Enhancing experiential education in an MBA coaching program

ABSTRACT

During this global pandemic, it is more important than ever for institutions of higher education who have distinguished themselves by their small classes and interactive approaches to focus on ways to distinguish themselves from their peers with online means of instruction. The authors detail a means of enhancing a master of business administration (MBA) coaching program using the National Society of Experiential Education's eight principles of experiential education. The authors offer five themes from detailed reflections of MBA students and participants in a leadership certificate course to highlight the value of structuring MBA programs. Our findings may benefit program directors and coaches who wish to enhance their value propositions.
